Name reversed on approved AP doc

We applied for our AP doc back in March or so and didn't realize my name was reversed on the form. We only realized our mistake when they sent in the NOA shortly after and I noticed I was given another USCIS account even though I already have one. We called them, emailed them, sent in the correction form request (as per what the agent told us to do over the phone), and also scanned a written letter to my USCIS account to inform them of this mistake very shortly after the NOA. Only received automated responses via the form and email. During my biometrics appointment, I also told them the same thing and they told us to do the same things (which we had already done by this point) but still took my photo and fingerprints. 

 

The AP doc arrived today, 4 months after our first NOA and all our attempts to contact them but still with the incorrect name mistake (family and given names reversed). What can I do now? Will I need to redo this whole AP application process all over again (send in new forms, do another biometrics, etc. )? Is there a specific number we can call or specific phrases we can say to get someone who can help fix this? I would like to avoid doing this whole thing from scratch if possible.

Just use it. It will soon be obsolete after you get your GC

At this point, returning it may be fruitless as it'll take another 6 months. By then you probably would be close to your interview or already had it

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

In case anyone finds this post, I have an update. I ended up calling again and they told me we just have to resubmit the forms from scratch. I resubmitted everything I had from the original filing and just added in an extra paragraph about how my name was incorrect in the first one.

 

After sending it in, we got notice that the new AP doc was approved and produced about 10 days later. All in all, it took about 2 weeks from us mailing the new forms and receiving the AP on hand.
